The Commanders limped through Ron Rivera’s 4th and final season as the head coach/head of football...

Carl Davis is back!

The Washington Commanders announced another roster move before offseason activities(OTAs) start on Wednesday. Carl Davis was on Le of the former Dallas Cowboys that made their way onto the roster after Dan Quinn was hired to be the Commanders head coach last year.

Washington moves to 5-2 with home win, kicking off a 3-game winning streak

With the Cowboys on a bye and the 3-2 Eagles beating the 2-4 New York Giants at 1:00 to get to 4-2, this late-afternoon game represented the culmination of Week 7 for the NFC East. To stay in control of the division, Washington would need to shake off last week’s loss to the Ravens and earn a win to move to 5-2 on the season.

Fortunately, the visiting 1-5 Carolina Panthers represented the closest an NFL team usually gets to a comfortable ‘get well’ opponent.
